Friend of mine saw it yesterday, we can't figure out what it is...The plate and emblem say "Kelmark" My guess is a kit car of some sort.

I think that you are dead on with the kit car. I believe that Kelmark made some different kits back a few decades ago that looked GT40 like

It's a GT I believe. Looks like a Bradley.

Never heard of it. According to wiki it was the first street legal car to break 200mph (claimed by R&T magazine in 1977)

That is definitely the Kelmark GT though. I just used some Google-foo on it, and it looks like a cross between a Porsche 904 and Ferrari Dino!!

There is a guy around here with that kit. His is a VW underneath.

It has a power-70's look, but swap out the wheels and the taillights, and it would look like a classic Ferrari. I like it.

yeah these were a kit car by the company Kelmark Engineering.

They were based out of Okemos, MI (near Lansing, MI) and my dad actually worked for them a bit back in the late 70's.

He's still got some old posters and brochures tucked away somewhere.

The Kelmark GT was supposed to mimick the Dino 246GT (never badged as a Ferrari remember as it only had a V6)

I think they are resonable looking cars. MAke it mid engined, shorten the rear deck once not cover the AC VW and remove the obvious Dino traits and it could be very cool
